[Verse 2] Nah, I didn't understand a thing you said If I didn't know better, I'd guess you're all already dead Mindless zombies walkin' around with a limp and a hunch Sayin' stuff like, "You only live once" You've got one time to figure it out One time to twist and one time to shout One time to think and I say we start now Sing it with me if you know what I'm talkin' about [Pre-Chorus] Gangsters don't cry, therefore, therefore I'm (I'm) Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I'm (I'm) [Chorus] Can you save, can you save my Can you save my heavydirtysoul?

Lyrics meaning

Lyrics
In a nutshell, “Heavydirtysoul” addresses how, although Tyler seems strong, he’s emotional and has depressing thoughts in his mind that he wishes weren’t there and how he wants to be saved. Music is Tyler’s way to deal with his problems, and throughout the 2015 album Blurryface he tells us he might not be alive if he didn’t do so. “Heavydirtysoul” reveals how Tyler thinks how he “didn’t lose his mind but he has a crazy mind to clean.” A bigger purpose of the song is how people look up to him. The entire song compares himself to a gangster, or looked up figure in some people’s lives, whether it has a good or bad correlation. Usually, people think of role models as strong people, but the song is about Tyler and how people look up to him, but he’s not a hero. He’s a person who has feelings and expresses them. In a 2019 interview, Andrew Donoho, the music video director, explained that the car falling apart symbolized the self-destructive nature of the ideas expressed in “Heavydirtysoul” and that similar to the car exploding after Tyler jumps out people need to put off such a mentality before they self-destruct completely. The wordings, like “heavy” and “dirty,” of the song and its title inspired the use of a car for the director.^[1]

-|I just wanna stay in the sun where I find
+|[Instrumental Intro]
+[Verse 1]
-I know it's hard sometimes
+There's an infestation in my mind's imagination
-Pieces of peace in the sun's peace of mind
+I hope that they choke on smoke
-I know it's hard sometimes
+'Cause I'm smokin' them out the basement
-Yeah, I think about the end just way too much
+This is not rap, this is not hip-hop
-But it's fun to fantasize
+Just another attempt to make the voices stop
-On my enemies who wouldn't wish who I was
+Rappin' to prove nothin', just writin' to say somethin'
-But it's fun to fantasize
+'Cause I wasn't the only one who wasn't rushin' to sayin' nothin'
+This doesn't mean I lost my dream
+It's just right now I got a really crazy mind to clean
-Oh, oh, oh, oh
+[Pre-Chorus]
-Oh, oh, oh, oh
+Gangsters don't cry, therefore, therefore I'm (I'm)
-I'm fallin' so I'm taking my time on my ride
+Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I'm (I'm)
-Oh, oh, oh, oh
+[Chorus]
-I'm fallin' so I'm taking my time on my ride
+Can you save, can you save my
+Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
+Can you save, can you save my
-Takin' my time on my ride
+Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
+For me, for me (Uh)
+Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
-"I'd die for you" that's easy to say
+For me, for me (Uh)
-We have a list of people that we would take
+Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
-A bullet for them, a bullet for you
+[Verse 2]
-A bullet for everybody in this room
+Nah, I didn't understand a thing you said
-But I don't seem to see many bullets coming through
+If I didn't know better, I'd guess you're all already dead
-See many bullets coming through
+Mindless zombies walkin' around with a limp and a hunch
-Metaphorically, I'm the man
+Sayin' stuff like, "You only live once"
-But literally, I don't know what I'd do
+You've got one time to figure it out
+One time to twist and one time to shout
+One time to think and I say we start now
-"I'd live for you" and that's hard to do
+Sing it with me if you know what I'm talkin' about
-Even harder to say, when you know it's not true
+[Pre-Chorus]
-Even harder to write, when you know that's a lie
+Gangsters don't cry, therefore, therefore I'm (I'm)
-There were people back home who tried talking to you
+Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I'm (I'm)
-But then you ignore them still
+[Chorus]
-All these questions they're for real, like
+Can you save, can you save my
-"Who would you live for?"
+Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
-"Who would you die for?"
+Can you save, can you save my
-And "Would you ever kill?"
+Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
